Gaelcon '15

So I bought a ticket to Galecon to explore my long-held fascination with RPGs, maybe make some friends with similar interests etc.

Just wondering if anyone knows the routine with the games - is there some way of registering for them? I mean, presumably for example not everyone can play the same game of Dark Heresy, so is it like first come first serve, or...?

That sounds great. Personally I'd love to make a few friends with geekier interests in Dublin so Gaelcon looks ideal.

Good to know, I'll pop them a message on Facebook. Gilgamesh sounds interesting, although my sci-fi tastes skew more towards Firefly space-cowboyism.

Looking at that page I'm loving some of the ideas. The Dragon Age universe appeals to me anyway, but X-Com and Isolation sound pretty sweet, too. Should I buy source material and study up on the systems if I'm relatively new?

Apologies to bother you with the questions, if you'd prefer I'll just refer to the FB page.

I'd actually say don't buy a game until you've tried it. There are games that you can rent out for a while and play with others, see if you enjoy it. Best way to discover new games. They tend to have a large selection.
